Atmospheric rivers impacting western North America in a world with climate intervention by Christine A. Shields, Jadwiga H. Richter, Angeline Pendergrass, Simone Tilmes

“…Abstract Atmospheric rivers (ARs) impacting western North America are analyzed under climate intervention applying stratospheric aerosol injections (SAI) using simulations produced by the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model. Sulfur dioxide injections are strategically placed to maintain present-day global, interhemispheric, and equator-to-pole surface temperatures between 2020 and 2100 using a high forcing climate scenario. …”
